Above Suspicion - The first instalment in Anna Travis series from acclaimed

‘Lynda La Plante practically invented the thriller. Above Suspicion blew me away – it grabs you and doesn''t let go until the last page’ KARIN SLAUGHTER The first book in the riveting Anna Travis series from the Sunday Times bestselling creator of Jane Tennison. Detective Anna Travis has just been assigned to her first murder case – a series of killings of young women that has shocked even the most hardened of her colleagues. The deaths first began eight years ago, and now the body count is up to six, with no concrete leads. Then the seventh body is found. The method of killing is identical, but while the previous victims were substance users and sex workers, this girl is a student with no links to the drug or sex trades. The profile of the murderer has changed dramatically. Determined to prove herself, Anna’s resolve pays off when she stumbles on a vital piece of information which links one man to the killings – a beloved actor on the brink of international stardom. But with the prospect of a media frenzy in the wings, his isn’t the only career on the line: if he were to be arrested and found innocent, then Anna’s hard-won reputation would be destroyed once and for all . . . PRAISE FOR LYNDA LA PLANTE: ‘The UK''s most celebrated female crime author’ Daily Mail ‘La Plante excels in her ability to pick out the surprising but plausible details that give her portrayal of everyday life in a police station a rare ring of authenticity’ Sunday Telegraph ‘Satisfyingly full of twists and turns’ Independent ‘Absorbingly twisty’ Guardian
